From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story…

 

It all started with an unexpected phone call.
Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him.
The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home.
The last thing I ever expected?
I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.
Josh Mathers, my fiance’s best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand.
Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago.
We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged.
Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary.
Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined.
I found myself slowly growing attached to someone I once considered the enemy…and growing attracted to him.
Sure, both of us were guilt-ridden over Brad. We were also two grown people with pent-up frustration toward one another—stuck in a cabin in the woods.
But this was Josh.

 

I could never.

 

 

 

Whoa! This was very different plot than I’ve seen in the past. Carly is a makeup artist in California. Carly’s fiancé Brad passed away two years prior, followed by his father’s death. They left behind a brother who has special needs with no family to take care of him. Carly uprooted her life and moved to New Hampshire to look after her fiancé’s brother until they find him a decent group home. What Carly did not expect was to face Brad best-friend Josh, her enemy, who also at the house claiming to take care of Brad. Now the two are stuck together at a small cabin with one bedroom short. They hated each other but the longer Carly spend with Josh the more she grows feelings for him. Josh isn’t’ the man she made him up to be. They don’t want to cross the line but it hard to ignore the attraction forever. As expected, this was a forbidden romance with heaps of slow burn and sexual tension due to the close proximity. Great chemistry and awesome banters between these two. A lot of heartwarming moments as well. Over all, this story has all the feels – emotional and beautiful enemy-to-lover romance.
